roughly between $250 to $300 depending on if the steering wheel is stock or sports and depending if you want perforated leather or standard grade leather sorry if this is a bit steep

That's reasonable. I was quoted $250 to cover a Ralliart wheel with quality black leather with red stitching and I think Mohit paid about the same for his.

sweet gimme a yell mate you may need another steering wheel while i recover it as i have to send the leather to melbourne to get perforated and then recover it which is about two days work [so it looks perfect]
